About The Position

Join Crusoe as a Senior Engineering Manager and lead a talented team focused on revolutionizing our cloud infrastructure. In this pivotal role, you'll lead the Command Center Insights & Actions team — building the systems that translate raw infrastructure telemetry into human-readable diagnostics and automated remediation workflows. You'll own a technical roadmap spanning alerting engines, heuristic development, node health systems, and state machines that trigger proactive maintenance without impacting customer workloads, while exploring the integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) to build cutting-edge AI solutions within our Command Center product. This is a full-time opportunity for a passionate leader who thrives on building high-performing teams, fostering innovation, and delivering impactful, data-driven solutions in a dynamic environment.
